Great, thanks Andy - I was hoping you'd provide the answer. Sounds sensible to give it a go. I was thinking that some race days for me can involve 30 or 40 miles of riding on a CX bike, of which maybe 10-15 is the actual race, so having decent braking power when I'm on tarmac is a big deal too, and I just don't have confidence in my cantis working well enough from the hoods.
